fawn response - the care of youth lyrics

there’s a place that i used to know
safe behind my eyelids
now it’s grown dark again
now it’s grown violent

people say “heaven and h+ll are places we go when we are dead”
i know well from experience
they live in all of our heads
they live in all of our heads
they live in all of our heads

the care of youth is indicative of where we come from
what poisons our blood and whеre it pools
the care of youth is prеdictive of where we’re going
if we’re not careful enough to notice

we’re dying to live
we’re living just to die
what the f+ck is this?

there’s a place that i used to know
safe beneath my blanket fort
i learned young how to set a trap for a man
who couldn’t keep his eyes or hands off where they ought not to have been
people say “heaven and h+ll are places we go when we are dead”
i know well from experience
they live in all of our heads

my father’s father taught him
that women were nothing
my father’s mother took it
which taught him something

my mother’s mother taught her
to serve and be unseen
my mother’s father taught her
to fear her own family

my father’s father’s father
said children were unclean
“best not spare the rod
if they’re to grow up godly!”

my father’s mother’s mother
she tended to agree
fed soap to her children
’til their insides were shiny!

my mother’s mother’s mother said
“serve and be unseen
the man that you marry may be violent and angry
but if you keep your head down and learn to appease
you’ll live a long life yearning to be free”
well, my mother’s father’s father
he grew up to be
what my mother’s mother’s mother’s had predicted and feared
and he taught all his namesake’s that to love was to be weak
and to fear and be feared were godly things!

now my father’s brother suffers from a heroin addiction
my father’s sister suffers suicidal ideation
my mother’s brother stockpiles guns and ammunition
my mother’s sister suffers from a grand+mal condition

my mother’s other brother locked up for life
for the one that he stole, that december night
and all of those before her he pillaged and defiled
like his dear ole daddy taught him back when he was child!

“whoever duly considers the vulgar management of youth in our grammar+schools, will, perhaps, see cause to wonder, that amidst the n0ble endeavors for the advancement of learning, a right method of education has been, in a manner, wholly overlooked. whilst the great men in the commonwealth of letters have been busily and successfully employed in improving, and carrying on the several arts and sciences, they have neglected what was equally necessary, the care of youth, the care of youth, the care of youth, the care of youth, the care of youth.”
